Isaiah 62:6-9
English Standard Version
6 On your walls, O Jerusalem,
I have set (A)watchmen;
all the day and all the night
they shall never be silent.
You who put the Lord in remembrance,
take no rest,
7 and give him no rest
until he establishes Jerusalem
and makes it (B)a praise in the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn (C)by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“I will not again give (D)your grain
to be food for your enemies,
(E)and foreigners shall not drink your wine
for which you have labored;
9 but (F)those who garner it shall eat it
and praise the Lord,
and (G)those who gather it shall drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”[a]

Isaiah 62:6-9
Common English Bible
6 Upon your walls, Jerusalem,
I have appointed sentinels.
Continually, all day and all night,
they won’t keep silent.
You who call on the Lord, don’t rest,
7 and don’t allow God to rest
until he establishes Jerusalem,
and makes it the praise of the earth.
8 The Lord has promised
with raised hand and strong arm:
I will never again give your grain
as food for your enemies.
Foreigners won’t drink your wine
for which you labored.
9 Those who harvest will eat it
and will praise the Lord;
those who gather will drink it
in my holy courtyards.
